Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has embarked on his first trip to China since the Russian invasion in 2022. Meanwhile, EU foreign ministers have protested Hungary’s ties with Russia.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba arrived in China on Tuesday for talks on how to end the war with Russia.
China, which has strengthened its “no limits” relationship with Russia since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, presents itself as a neutral party to the conflict.
But Western governments have accused China providing support to Russia during the war.
“The main topic of discussion will be the search for ways to stop Russia’s aggression and China’s possible role in achieving a stable and just peace,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The trip is Kuleba’s first visit to China since the invasion in 2022. Beijing said the visit would last until Friday.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged the news.
“For us, our relations with China are the main thing,” he said. “We intend to continue following the path of developing Russian-Chinese relations in all areas.”
